Orishas' Yotuel Romero And Tego Calderón Team Up For "Rock & Roll Con Chancleta"

By Sugey Palomares

From ruling the underground hip-hop scene in France to winning two Grammy Awards, the Cuban group Orishas have always been a musical force to be reckoned with. Yotuel Romero, Orishas' frontman, is running solo and joining forces with the notorious Tego Calderón for his first single "Rock and Roll Con Chancleta."

The new track was inspired by a poem Yotuel wrote for his son explaining the origins of his race and creates a magical hybrid between hip hop, electric guitar, and conga-driven beats.

According to Yotuel, the creative fusion symbolizes his Caribbean identity:

"I am pure taíno mezclado mixed with wine, olive oil, tobacco smoke, honey and rum...My inheritance was born out of love between white and black...My culture was born from these impurities..."

Embracing our cultura is what it's all about! We are in love with this track! "Rock & Roll Con Chancleta" is available on iTunes ahora.
